"TORONTO - A year from tomorrow, Sept. 15, 2014, “the show” will be begin.

And no one, says a former lover, will be happier than Luka Rocco Magnotta.

“It’s exactly what he wants,” said a transsexual pal who goes by the stage name Barbie Swallows.

The big stage, she said, is exactly what he craves."

Well I don't know where to put this but as we already know, people have been writing him and he has been writing back. One of the people to admit to it is his friend (modelling agent or pimp, whichever you believe) from Toronto. I think it will keep his egotistical personality intact until trial so even though he is despicable, so I say 'go for it.' However, I'm sure his lawyer won't allow him to speak at all. I really have no idea why any of his ex-friends would want to write to him at all. To say what exactly? "You still look great?" "Remember the old times when you just killed cats?" GMAFB.

"MONTREAL — Accused body-parts killer Luka
Magnotta addressed the court for the first time since his arrest 18 months ago following a gruesome murder in a Montreal apartment.

The Toronto native said "not guilty" five times, in a low voice, in response to the five charges read out to him on Wednesday morning.

Magnotta, 31, stood in the prisoner's dock, facing Superior Court Judge Guy Cournoyer, as he entered the pleas in the murder of Chinese student Jun Lin on May 25, 2012.

The defendant appeared noticeably larger than the thin former *advertiser censored* actor with angular features whose picture has been tabloid fodder around the world".

"OTTAWA — A Quebec court decision that keeps a confidential academic research interview of accused killer Luka Magnotta out of police hands protects the “cornerstone” of study work, say the University of Ottawa criminology professors involved in the case.

“It’s a principle of research. We can’t betray the trust participants give us when they share their stories with us,” said Chris Bruckert, who, with Colette Parent, carried out a study titled Sex Work and Intimacy: Escorts and Their Clients between 2004 and 2008.

The research included interviews with 20 female escorts, 20 male escorts and 20 clients of escorts who agreed to speak confidentially. Magnotta was interviewed in March 2007 under the pseudonym Jimmy.

After police arrested Magnotta, now 31, in connection with the death and dismemberment of Concordia student Lin Jun, 33, in May 2012, officers acted on a tip from a student research assistant about the interview and executed a search warrant to seize the audio recording and a paper transcript."

"MONTREAL — Luka Rocco Magnotta’s murder case is taking an international twist as the Crown seeks a judge’s OK to question witnesses in France and Germany.

Magnotta’s trial in the May 2012 death of Concordia University student Jun Lin is scheduled to take place this coming September.

Magnotta left Canada after the alleged murder and went to France and then Germany, where he was arrested in June 2012.

The Crown wants to interview more than 30 witnesses in those two countries.

An attorney who deals with international cases with Quebec’s public prosecutions office says there is no legal way to compel witnesses from a foreign country to testify in Canada.

Magnotta’s attorney, Luc Leclair, said today the witnesses should be brought to Canada on the federal government’s dime."

"A Quebec judge presiding over the case of alleged killer Luka Rocco Magnotta has granted an order that evidence be collected in France and Germany.

Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer ruled today in favour of a Crown motion presented Thursday.

Magnotta's trial in the May 2012 death of Concordia University student Jun Lin is scheduled to take place this coming September.

Magnotta left Canada after the alleged murder and went to France and then Germany, where he was arrested in June 2012.

The prosecution wants to talk to more than 30 people in Paris and Berlin.

Cournoyer says despite the differences in how the justice system operates in those countries, a decision whether to accept the evidence gathered there will be taken once the process is over.

Magnotta's lawyer argued the witnesses should be brought to Canada to testify at his client's jury trial.

But a Crown witness has testified there is no way to compel foreign citizens to testify in Canada and no recourse should they agree to testify and simply not show up"


Odd clothing choice for a murder trial imo.

"MONTREAL — The trial of accused murderer Luka Magnotta could take an international twist with a Crown motion to have witnesses interviewed in Europe.

The former sex worker from Toronto was present in a Montreal courtroom Thursday as the Crown filed a rogatory letter, which is a formal request for assistance from a foreign court.

Magnotta, 31, wore a black Marilyn Monroe T-shirt and was separated from the public by glass in the prisoner's box"

 

[matou]

Magnotta, who had no reaction to Friday's ruling, was nearly unrecognizable in the glass-enclosed prisoner's box.

He's about 50 lbs. heavier than when he was arrested in June 2012.

He wore a long-sleeved blue shirt with a grey sweater tied around his neck. His jawline and neck are much fuller and he sports a moustache and goatee.

Not so hot now, are you?

Haven't posted on this case for ages. Am not up to date. Just to say the case shows overwhelming evidence of gov. manipulation and meddling which includes but is not limited to his 5 star drugged private jet home to Canada.

In any other country the 'political' elements to the case would be paramount however goofy. I think they will probably be at a bit of a loss: they would like him to be "crazy" so we don't taken any political motive including the very interesting possibility that we did have some kind of perp/manipulator in his past - on the other hand they want to convict him whoever "him" is.

I am asking this in all honesty: the legend around M. including parents are those real? Does he have a different background than the one mentioned? As I said I am not up to date but what is the evidence about his background? Cause I think his real background is different than the 'errors' in the press.

The strange thing is he looks genuinely Slavic to me. Yet that was just a pose? But who the heck goes to where he did in Russia? There is always St. Petersburg after all or Moscow. I mean if you are poseur sorry that is just not where you would go in Russia.

Makes no sense.

One clue: is he related to D.N.? hopefully someone will grasp what I am saying.

Ha ha so is he really concerned with fashion image or more with hiding his real ID?

 

[Chorley8]

So it remains interesting that Elizabeth Bain (unsolved) had a New Order cassette in her car player would love to know if the New Order song
True Faith the actual song was on that tape?

No offense intended and I contend none of the diagnoses of LM either officially or here bear little weight IMO.

If nothing else he is a bit of a mystery. I think the political message is paramount but being massaged and disguised.

I'm not sure who you are referring to, but his fathers initials are DN. And he and his siblings did indeed have a pretty horrific childhood.

Re my point about his travels: External Affairs is pretty sanguine about travel in Russia but note what it says about Ingushetia where LM supposedly travelled:

http://travel.gc.ca/destinations/russia

"If you are currently in one of these areas, you should leave. The ability of the Embassy of Canada in Moscow to provide assistance is severely limited or non-existent".

 

[jellybeanz]

First name that popped into my head for DN was the famous poker player, who does have an eastern european background.

Cant be who you are alluding to, if not his father already mentioned.

 

[snoofer]

heyyy everyone! Lots of familiar faces from the Rafferty trial and of course those that supported the Staffords. Hi Salem!!! Has anyone seen Suedie?? Is this the start off link for the trial Salem. Jelly will you be linking this thread to the others?? Been away awhile but back for the trial.

Dr. John Bradford won’t work Magnotta case because of PTSD

One of this country’s top forensic psychiatrists says he will not work on the upcoming trial of alleged killer Luka Rocco Magnotta because he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, a condition triggered by a career spent absorbing graphic video evidence.

Dr. John Bradford said he never used to believe PTSD was real, but having experienced it, he now recognizes that it is a true medical condition.

“I’m not a skeptic anymore,” he said. “I can tell you it’s real.”

I'm so glad I didn't watch the whole video. omg
